Penn Leadership
Together, we create and share values that make the University of Pennsylvania an institution where creativity flourishes, innovation creates new tools and medicines, civil debate poses and addresses challenging societal questions, and learning prepares us all to make the world a better place.”
J. Larry Jameson, MD, PhD

I believe great American universities, like Penn, are the most important repositories of all that is good and laudable about our modern civilization. They embody our commitment to learning, truth, civil discourse, and the pursuit of new knowledge. As a longtime volunteer and a graduate of three Penn schools, I know firsthand of our University’s critical role in advancing discovery at a time of global change. With its commitment to working across disciplines, distances, and divides, Penn is uniquely well positioned to make a difference not just on campus but in the world.”
